I've only just started playing this game. I've been on a west coast server, because my brother (who lives in Korea) plays there. Whats the pseudo name of EU 1? When i look at the list they all have names rather than numbers. When i work out which sever i'll create a character (probably be close to my user name here) and join in.

May I ask a question here? I'm trying to get at least familiar enough with Planetside 2 to join one of the RPS outings, but I'm having one bit of trouble at the moment: I can't easily determine the enemy. Everybody looks pretty much the same, so I'm not always sure who to kill.

Is there a setting where I can make it easier to determine who's who?

I've set up mumble, I've learned some basic mechanics and have watches the training vids, but I still have trouble knowing the enemy.

Please pardon me if this question is inappropriate for this thread.

Unfortunately there isn't, however if they don't have a blue icon over their head, they're an enemy. Look at them and press Q (you may need to aim) to tag enemies with a red icon (it has no effect on friendlies).

Spotting with Q is somewhat glitchy in general - sometimes you need to do it multiple times, sometimes friendly icons don't show up at range. But it's helpful.

If it's any consolation, after a while, you do start to get used to distinguishing between the factions on sight, and even some classes. It gets easier, but just takes time.
